The easy replacement might be Cain Velasquez, who just lost his opponent when Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira pulled out of their fight with a staph infection (this is why you don’t share swim trunks, guys). Of course, there’s also guys a little lower down the food chain, like Pat Barry. He’s just coming off a win over Antoni Hardonk, and if the UFC decides they’d like to reschedule Velasquez vs. Shane Carwin in light of Lesnar’s heath issues that might be the better way to let these guys build themselves up some more. Or it’s possible that the UFC will just throw up their hands and say, ‘screw it, if these guys can’t learn to use the antibacterial soap we keep sending them, this isn’t worth it.’ Probably they’ll just get someone else, though.

It's sort of sad when you think about it, staph has taken out more UFC heavyweights than the current champ

They want Dos Santos to win against a name so that he may fight for the belt next if needed. Gonzaga out I say give him Big Ben Rothwell. Should have pretty much the same effect.

All this havoc on the UFC heavy weight division is Dana Whites fault. He has angered Fedor's Magic sweater one to many times.
